Design & Entitle Permanent Roads at Chapman and McGrath
Clear & Grade Parcel B and Roads
Install Sewer/Storm/Water Utilities to Support Future Development
Install Curb/Gutter, Streetscape and Hardscape

Wait, isnt WMATA planning on building a tunnel under here to connect White Flint Metro to Pike&Rose? So if money is spent on grass and roads for this area, won’t it be wasted as in a few years it would all be excaated for the tunnel?

The tunnel is an idea, not a plan, as of now. And this project is further east, toward Harris Teeter.

This is great, what about parcel A? Including it in the plan would provide a good sized park which would more appropriately accommodate the number of residents in the area. Are there any plans for parcel A?

Hopefully a quantum computing life science center and lab.
